Installation Prerequisites
Your Wireless Array deployment requires the presence of hardware and services
in the host wired/wireless network, including:
Power Source
Xirrus Arrays and APs are powered via Xirrus-supplied Power over
Gigabit Ethernet. PoGE supplies power over the same Cat 5e or Cat 6
cable used for data, thus reducing cabling and installation effort. PoGE
power injector modules are available in 1-, 2-, and 8-port configurations
and are typically placed near your Gigabit Ethernet switch. An AC outlet
is required for each injector module.
Some smaller Arrays and APs are compatible with IEEE802.3af and/or
IEEE802.3at, and may be connected to appropriate powered switches. For
example, the Xirrus XT-5024 is a 24-port 802.3at PoE+ managed switch.
See the Quick Installation Guide for the Array/AP for compatible
injectors or powered switches.
ArrayEthernet ports
You need at least one 100/1000 BaseT port to establish wired Gigabit
Ethernet connectivity. XR Series Arrays have different numbers of ports,
